Kaiju No. 8 season 2 release date speculation, trailer updates, latest news
After roaring onto our screens earlier this year, when will Kaiju No. 8 get a second season?
Kaiju No. 8 burst onto streaming platforms earlier this year.
It's produced by anime powerhouse Production IG (yes, them, of Ghost in the Shell and Terminator Zero) and sports catching opening and ending themes from YUNGBLUD and OneRepublic.
Following the interestingly named Kafka Hibino, the world featured in the series is one where the titular kaijū, giant monsters in the vein of Godzilla and Pacific Rim, run amok and cause chaos.
But when can we expect more of said chaos? Read on for everything we know about Kaiju No. 8 season 2 so far.

Kaiju No. 8 season 2 is coming in 2025 - but we don't have a specific release date just yet.

What is the plot of Kaiju No. 8?
Hibino wants to fight kaijū as part of the Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force but, instead, he’s stuck as a cleaner doing all the nasty jobs no one wants to do.
This all changes, however, when he accidentally ingests a parasite which makes him turn into the titular Kaiju No. 8.
Thus, the first season sees him trying to juggle his application for the JAKDF while keeping his other form a secret.
